Staff Spotlight: Amber Bos

Renew currently has 14 staff members. Some you may have known for years, and others you might only know by name. To help you get to know the staff a bit better, each month we will be featuring a staff member in our Staff Spotlight. This month’s spotlight is one of our Instructors, Amber Bos.

Hello! Here are some details about me. I was born and grew up here in the West Michigan. I have enjoyed dressing up with my family in Dutch costumes each Tulip Time for as long as I can remember. When it comes to outdoors, I love all things from hunting, fishing, hiking, running, and riding horse. I am an extremely family oriented person and am super close to my parents and extended family. Some of you may have met my mom as she recently started volunteering at Renew. I participated in 4H in Ottawa county for 10 years growing up and continue to participate by being a 4H leader. I grew up with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and of course horses. I currently have a golden retriever, Oakley, who will be 3 in October. I recently became engaged and plan to get married this coming August to my high school sweetheart. I graduated from Baker College of Muskegon in December of 2021 with an associates in occupational therapy and received my license and certification the following spring of 2022. I have been working in a skilled nursing facility part time and teaching at Renew Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, and Thursday morning as I also received my CTRI certificate in the spring of 2022. I am so blessed to work at Renew and truly appreciate and love all my interactions with fellow staff, volunteers, and of course our riders.
